On 8 December 2016 in response to the Independent Liquor Law Review, the
NSW Government announced changes to liquor laws, including the retention of mandatory
ID scanners in Kings Cross. Read more about the decision here. ​

Background to the review

We sought feedback on:

effectiveness of the ID scanners;

operational and privacy requirements for the ID scanning system;​

any technical issues experienced; and

future policy directions in relation to ID scanners within the precinct.
